I need to download some gifs from giphy.com, and there's a download button, and it says: 'To save this GIF to your desktop, simply right click the file's 'Download' button and select 'Download Linked File' or 'Save Link As' I do that and save it as a gif but whatever I save seems to be an empty.gif file of few kilobytes, not the real gif. I've uploaded mp4s to giphy, the site has turned them into gifs. A job well done. But when I try to download them they are downloaded in sizes of 270x480 which looks pixellated. 3 Ways to Download Gifs From Giphy. A year ago, We didn’t actually know the importance of Gif and the downloading way was way more difficult. But, Time has changed. Dec 22, 2018 - Animated GIFs are those cute little animations that you've probably seen. This will download a copy of that GIF to your computer for you to use.

Add to Office
One of the more exciting changes in 2016 applies to the digital office. Work may be work, but it doesn't mean we cannot have fun while doing our jobs. It's hard to think of Office and Outlook and get excited about spreadsheets and presentations and emails.
However, there is a way to spice up your emails and bring back some fun at work, and that involves Microsoft's Office add-ins aka small programs that hook into your desktop and web Office apps. Today, we're taking a look at GIPHY and how you can now make your email a lot more hilarious.
The Language of animated GIFs
Over the last few years, internet culture has shifted from text to images and now to the pervasive animated GIFs (those small moving images posted on Facebook and increasing in text messages). One company seems to be cornering the market on cataloging those GIFs so that you can access them within any app. That company is GIPHY (yes, the pronounce it with a 'G' like in 'gift'), which started in 2013 and as of 2016 is valued at $300 million.
What does GIPHY do that no one else does as well? I would say three things: (1) they act as a repository for the vast array of internet animated GIFs, (2) they provide a searchable database for said GIFs, and (3) they let their service integrate into third-party messaging apps, Facebook, GroupMe, and now Outlook for Office.
Let's face it. Sometimes instead of writing something back a mere animated GIF can express exactly the mood, tone, and expression you are looking to share with someone. Every day, there are hundreds of new GIFs being added to GIPHY and it shows no signs of slowing down.
How GIPHY works is delightfully simple. If you go to their website, you can just type in phrases. Joy, Face slap or Pizza and get a surprisingly enormous number of animated GIFs to choose from. If you are at a loss for words, just browse their gallery or navigate by categories.
It's hard to think of Office and Outlook and get excited about spreadsheets and presentations and emails. GIPHY can fix that.
Once you find a GIF, the problem is getting into your social app of choice. Usually, you can do this by just grabbing the hyperlink, using their standard share tools to Facebook, Twitter, etc. The problem here is the same old one we all know: you now have to go to a website and grab the animated hilarity instead of bringing the mini-cartoon right to you.
GIPHY is solving this, ahem, vexing problem by letting their service add onto other services. Microsoft's GroupMe, which is available for Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile, now has built-in GIPHY support. Many third-party messaging apps also utilize the service as does Twitter.
And now it is time for Outlook email to get in on the action.
GIPHY for Outlook
Microsoft is busy rolling out the new Outlook.com user experience, and that update is more than just cosmetic. It also allows a user to tap into the Office Store where you can find a massive collection of add-in apps to your favorite Office programs. Shutterstock was one we covered for PowerPoint, and now GIPHY can be added to your email.
The process for installing GIPHY is simple:
- Navigate to the Office Store: store.office.com
- Search for GIPHY or just use this direct link
- Log in with your Microsoft or Outlook Account
- Install
- Profit?
It is that simple. Now, Outlook on the Web, Outlook 2013, and Outlook 2016 users can have GIPHY right at your fingertips the next time you want to send an email.
Speaking of, using GIPHY is very easy to use once installed. Near the top of a new email draft, you will see a row of smaller icons. GIPHY will be listed there and likely be the first one (if the most-recently installed). Clicking it will bring in a GIPHY panel on the right side of your email. From this area you can:
- View today's trending GIFs
- Search for any GIF
- Control GIF search parental settings e.g. G, PG, PG-13
Once you find a GIF you want to share with your fellow office worker, your parents, an old friend, etc. just click it and it will auto insert into your email. Is the GIF too big or maybe too small? Just click it again and drag to resize until you're happy!
Feel free to insert as many animated GIFs as you want — nothing is stopping you… expect perhaps good taste. GIF responsibly, people.
To use Office add-in apps your Outlook account has to be migrated over to the new version. Many accounts are still not set up for this, but Microsoft is busy migrating those accounts to the new service. If you cannot install GIPHY just yet, you will be able once you get the new Outlook.com redesign.
Let's make email fun again
Let's face it, if you are not using animated GIFs to make your messages or Tweets a little more fun, then you are missing out. With GIPHY integration built into Outlook.com and Outlook 2013 and 2016, email is goofy and fun again.
The partnership with Microsoft is not only good for GIPHY, but it could help Microsoft to keep younger people interested in the Outlook email service. As more and more young people rely on instant messaging, Snapchat, and WhatsApp, bringing them along for the ride in email by offering familiar services is exactly what Outlook needs. Besides GIPHY there are some excellent Office add-ins like Uber, Bing, Package Tracker, and more.
Why not add some fun to your inbox – and your contacts – and toss in GIPHY to the mix? It may just bring a smile to your face.

All I Want in Life are Folders for Giphy
How To Download From Giphy 2018
Faster way to SEARCH and share, yes! Fastest way to SAVE and share, no! There are too many gifs here. That’s actually a marvelous thing! Except there are no folders to organize them. I don’t have the time or care to sift through a hundred “clapping” gifs to find the one I like each time. So I save it to favorites. Great! But then I have a gif for EVERY reaction, and often a dozen PER reaction type (gotta have fandom reactions and plain reactions and celebrity reactions, etc). So if we could just create folders in our favorites so I don’t have to scroll through 500 gifs every time I’m looking for the perfect Star Trek or sports or reaction gif, I’d give you two more stars. This is 2019. If you can’t give us folders already, you lose three stars on the rating. Keeping us scrolling through so many gifs in our favorites drains our batteries and wastes our data. Someone please hook us up with folders!
Everything else about this app is pretty darn great, 5-star worthy, even.

My favorite app becoming unusable
I use this app multiple times a day, but it pulls so much memory that it is becoming unusable. This app is in no way streamlined for heavy users. I've saved almost 1000 gifs as favorites, but there are no playlists, no rapid scrolling, so personal tagging features, so all of them appear as one giant list. The scrolling system is just broken. I have to wait for each gif to load before I can scroll to an earlier part of the list. I've spent 20 minutes just trying to get to the gif I need, even when I know exactly what and where it is. The app worked great when I had 10 favorites, now I'm lucky if I get through 1/10 of my favorites before it crashes. In some cases I have to quit every other app on my phone, then restart the phone, just to use the basic functions of this app.
I would switch to a different app in a second if it actually worked. They need to fire their entire UX team and find someone actually competent at the job.
